It’s been surreal you know, having found yourself in a place where atleast everyone and their grandmas have been referring to since the day I landed in South Australia. “Melbourne’s the place to be mate, it’s got the food, the looks, the art, the money.” I initially failed to grasp the suggestion, and misinterpreted it…

Phuket Weekend Gallery: A Family Getaway
Recently, I embarked on a holiday, a long-due family trip along a gem in Southeast Asia: Phuket, Thailand. Although I was pretty preoccupied spending my now limited time touristing with the fam-bam, I took the liberty to latch the GoPro on, the Phantom drone up in the sky, and had the SLR on a spin…
VoyagerZulu Year 2: Sydney’s Coasts and Sam Kolder
So there I was, making my way downtown (had to do it), all for a 9AM class on a rather dreary Monday morning, and what buzzed on my phone happened to be the greatest sight for sore eyes: LinkedIn congratulating me for a year’s worth of swashbuckling, a year’s worth of “where-to-next?”, a year’s worth of…
Osaka Overnight: 12-Hour-Kyoto Temple Run
Hideyoshi Toyotomi against the Muromachi; perfect juxtaposition to a most physically taxing battle I was to have with sleep deprivation and fatigue, only to become what I’d simply describe to be a most refreshing immersion, leagues deep into the raw sights and sounds the sophisticated japanese culture had to offer. 1 AM flight onboard Cathay’s Airbus…
Swiss Splendour: Alps with a side of Movenpick
Day 2. Agenda? Titlis Gray Line Tours. Zurich – Kriens – Engelberg – Lucerne – Zurich. Three second google search of those places were lure to what’s simply put as eye-enchanting. For 156 francs per human (halfprice for halflings aged 6-16), the bus picked us up at the hotel, stopping over at Zurich Hauptbahnhof to pickup the rest…
#DiscoverHK: New Territories Bike Excursion
From the toddler taking his first tricycle for a spin, or a world champion cyclist (coughs; Wong Kam Po) beating record time, I’d say Hong Kong excels to cater for all, providing no less than exceptional views for a relaxing afternoon’s bike cruise.
Swiss Splendour: Schloss Laufen am Rheinefall
“On my behalf I want you to devour all the chocolate you see!”, suggestively quoted one of my close buddies upon news of my Shengen Visa approval and confirmed tickets to what’s singlehandedly one of the most aesthetically spectacular locations on the planet. CX383, a fully-loaded Boeing 777-300ER on premium economy, with a side of…
#DiscoverHK: Grass Island’s Picturesque Panorama
Previously, we explored the numerous transport interchanges necessary to reach our destination, “Hong Kong’s biggest lawn”, the Grass Island, and in this particular entry, we embark on the thrill to find out what makes this island as coveted in the aspects of its picturesque wonder.
Queensland Quintessence: The Great Barrier and Bare Feet
Kerns? ‘nah mate it’s more like Cans’. Quick look at the flight roster and behold I’m chucked in a city with a name I cannot pronounce to save my life. Square one problem was getting there in the first place. Like most of the passengers on Isle A of Hong Kong International, we live on…
The Philippine Getaway: A Hundred Islands in a Day
or so we tried. THE PEARL OF THE ORIENT SEAS! Being a fullbred filipino with Level 99 #PinoyPride it brings me much excitement to showcase one of the National Geological Monuments of my home country. The Hundred Islands is a place I hold dear to my heart, not because of the undeniably great instagram-fodder, but…
